After three drum battles in succession, Chun Yuqiong lost more than 200 crossbowmen and did not take any advantage. Obviously, there are more crossbowmen on the side, the arrow array is denser, and the momentum is greater, but the scene is just beautiful, every time you rest, your own side has to drag down dozens of corpses, and more are injured, but the opponent's position has not changed much, and it still shoots unhurriedly.

Chun Yuqiong was a little anxious. He originally wanted to win with the superiority of his troops, but now it seems that Sun Ce's subordinates have stronger shooting ability. They have a higher hit rate, which compensates for the numerical disadvantage, and the superiority in armament is also obvious. They robbed the Gepi Ordnance Workshop, and compared the ordnance of both sides, the arrows produced by the Gepi Ordnance Workshop have a stronger armor-piercing ability, and the armor shield has a better protective ability. Although the gap does not seem to be so big that it is crushed, it has a magnifying effect that cannot be ignored when the two armies face each other.

This should be the reason why your own casualties are even greater.

If the confrontation continues, the morale of the other side will be frustrated, and the casualties will be more and more large. Once the advantage of the crossbowman is weakened, it will be difficult to attack again. Chun Yuqiong thought about it and decided to adopt the tactics of hand-to-hand combat and give full play to the superiority of troops.

The order was given, the drums of war were beaten again, and the Quartet foot soldiers crossed the crossbowmen and began to charge, forcing the attack.

Seeing that Chun Yuqiong sent four Qu soldiers at once, Lu Su and Dong Xi immediately understood his intentions and ordered to fight. The crossbowmen stepped back, the archers stepped forward, striking a covering blow, and with a whistling roar, a rain of arrows leaped out and shot at the charging soldiers.

At this time, one more bow is more strength, except for the spearmen and sword and shield men who are ready to fight, everyone else who can pick up the bow and start shooting, Lu Su and the guards around him are no exception, arrow after arrow, and the buzzing strings are endless.

The arrows entered the body, there was a pop sound, blood splashed, one after another soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the short distance of sixty steps became a matter of life and death, many people failed to take this step, and fell to the ground before they could meet each other, and less than half of the soldiers who launched the charge rushed to the front of the formation.

"Kill!" The surviving sergeant Liu and the sergeant were red-eyed, raised their ring knives and spears, and rushed over.

Jiangdong Jian'er was still silent, the sword and shield hand was half-squatting, holding the shield in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, hiding his body behind the shield, holding the shield with his shoulder, not looking into the distance, only looking at the three feet in front of him, as long as there was a figure in the field of vision, he stabbed with a knife, and then dragged it hard, causing as much wound as possible. The spearman bows forward and arrows back, holds his spear in both hands, leans forward slightly, and the spear passes through the gap between the two shields, mechanically stabbing and retracting, cleanly, without a single superfluous movement.

Although the charging Liu and sergeant soldiers swung their swords and spears, slashed and assassinated with all their strength, and the shields clattered and staggered, they could not break through the shield formation, huddled together, and became the best targets of the spearmen, and fell one after another.

Compared with the arrow array, the hand-to-hand combat is more cruel, and it tests the strength and psychological quality of the soldiers on both sides. No matter how good the personal martial arts are, there are people in the front and back, left and right, there is no room to play at all, life and death are only between the line. By breaking through the defensive formation, the attacker can get more room to play. If they can't break through the defensive formation, they are a live target, and sooner or later they will die.

The two sides fought together, and the originally straight formation writhed like a wave.

While shooting, Lu Su used the corner of his eye to check the situation on both wings, and when he saw that the formation was fluctuating more and more, he put down his bow, pulled out his battle knife, and shouted: "Suddenly!" ”

The guards responded in unison, holding bows and crossbows to shoot aside, Lu Su rushed out first, raised his sword and fell, and slashed an oncoming spearman, and then swung his knife to open another spear, the blade of which slid down the handle of the spear, cut off a few fingers, and then rested on the spearman's neck. Lu Su dragged hard, and the sharp blade cut the carotid artery of the spearman, and blood splattered out.

Under the leadership of Lu Su, they slaughtered into the crowd, quickly tore apart the opponent's formation, burst behind them, and turned back to slash and slash. The frustrated attack of Liu He's sergeants was flanked from front to back, the casualties increased rapidly, the offensive was weaker, and a large piece was cut down in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Lu Su's subordinates let out a shout, and at the same time advanced forward and began to fight back.

At this point in the battle, they shouted for the first time, and the voices of the four hundred people converged into one, neat and majestic, like an invisible sledgehammer, hitting the formation of Liu Hejun's imminent rout, and even more on the hearts of those soldiers, many people couldn't help but shiver, looking at the opponent who was like a tiger descending the mountain in disbelief.

Two hundred steps away, Chun Yuqiong, who rushed to the front of the battle, also heard this shout, and was inexplicably shocked. That's when he noticed a problem. The two sides have been fighting for so long, and they are used to hearing the chaotic shouts of their own soldiers, but it is the first time they have heard the other party shouting to kill.

These soldiers are so calm that the battle is so fierce, and they can still not say a word?

When the two armies are fighting, they need to listen to the drums of war and act, and the fewer unnecessary sounds the better, but people's hearts are made of meat, and when they are nervous, they will not be free to shout, which is not only to communicate with each other, but also to relieve pressure and encourage morale, and it is impossible to really enforce orders and prohibitions. When it comes to life and death, who cares so much.

But Sun Ce's subordinates did. This surprised Chun Yuqiong, who boasted of fighting for half her life, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

He didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't care that there were still subordinates fighting in front, so he ordered the crossbowmen to press up and fire a volley.

Eager war drums sounded, and a dense rain of arrows leaped into the air. When Lu Su heard the sound of the drum, he knew that the other party was going to poison him, and he immediately ordered to raise his shield regardless of the damage of the enemy and me. No sooner had they raised their shields than the arrows burst through the wind, and the shields crackled like hailstones.

The infantry soldiers on both sides who were fighting were caught off guard, and many of them were hit by arrows. Wu Huijian'er was protected by fine armor and shields, and stood farther away, only dozens of people were hit by arrows, and those Liu He sergeants who turned their backs to their own positions suffered heavy losses, and most of them fell in an instant, and the rest of the people scolded while looking for protection.

Before the arrow array was over, Chun Yuqiong sent four more foot soldiers to forcibly attack. Forced by the sound of war drums, and under the glittering sword of the guard battalion, the four-curved foot soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions and charged forward, rushing towards Lu Su and the others who had not had time to reorganize their formation.

Lu Su saw it clearly, and while giving a loud order, he commanded the crossbowmen to step forward and shoot and suppress, while returning the knife into the sheath, raised the bow again, and looked at the enemy soldier who was facing him fifty paces away, and shot three arrows in a row.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! Three arrows flew almost at the same time, one in the air, one on Qu Junhou's shoulder, and one on the chest of the banner soldier beside him. Qu Junhou fell on his back, the flag bearer stumbled, and then fell to the ground, and the substitute flag bearer grabbed the battle flag, and before he could raise it, another arrow flew in front of him.

The substitute flag bearer fell to the ground, the banner fell to the ground, and the offensive stalled.
